Reviews
'This collection of 18 essays is rich in ideas on the implications of information technology and morality. Variety is the collection's strong point, though there are certainly some common themes, including the nature of identity and agency ... This work will appeal to scholars in several disciplines, including communication, political science, computer science, and philosophy. Summing up: recommended.' S. E. Forschler, Choice
